I agree with nominating two songs. I would say, for uniformity, to ask everyone to nominate a couple of songs, possibly not 10 minutes long.
Next week we can vote taking all week. I will open the next poll on Monday 11th July.

MY COUPLE OF SONGS:

1) Per Grazia Ricevuta (PGR): "Orfani e vedove"



2) Morphine: Super Sex (live)

Mini reviews:

1) Dengue Fever - One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula
Basically a syncopated blues track, with a hard-rock guitar, a rock sax, an oriental voice, some jam session pieces. All very loaded, sustained, sometimes frantic. Very good.

2) Dor Koloingo - Mreznicko
Intrumental piece with an elaborate composition, led by the percussion, in effect it sounds similar to the previous one (jam-blues-style), but in this case the sound is more retro.

3) Ben LaMar Gay ft. Ohmme: Sometimes I Forget How Summer Looks on You
Piece with African rhythms but played in an electronic, cybernetic way. It's not my cup of tea.

Very much so, Massive Attack were groundbreaking in their genre! It wouldn't surprise me if they had been a source of inspiration for LaMar. He originally comes from jazz, but he likes to experiment beyond the music genres and that's actually what Massive Attack did too!

It looks like nobody has time to comment on the songs suggested so far, unfortunately including myself. Shall we start the nominations, George?

^ Oh yes. There are some great small festivals nearby to enjoy these coming months, and sometimes they lead to great discoveries... Thumbs Up

Gosh, what an indecent proposal... My couch and I have a long standing and thorough relationship, especially when it comes to music. It supports me always in those times, but especially when I'm not dancing! Approve

But it does depend on the season, doesn't it? For me summer is festival time. I'm open to listening to almost any kind of stuff. You always discover something new. Clap

Thought of this when listening to The Pursuit of Happiness... and as it happens, it also is connected to the title of the Nits song.

You guys encouraged me to bring what I like. Nick's The Adults track is pretty dancable plus it is a fusion with African sounds. So is the track by my Aussie combo, maybe a bit more poppy but +/- pretty much the same and both tracks are quite recent stuff tg. Tongue

I've brought this band forward before, but the percussive aspect of the Blurt track led me immediately to this one.

@ Mila,while Pnau - Go Bang isn't much for me musically, that video is great.

Here's the other song inspired by the Adults - Boomtown, and it was the opening rhythm and vocals made me think of this Korean song. I had posted this in Greg's (Logan) one YouTube video thread.

The Adults - Boomtown inspired me in two different ways. I might break my rules and post the second, but the first was just the name of the band. Made me think of this one which got I got back in the late 80. Catchy/humorous rock tune produced by Todd Rundgren. It got some decent radio airplay back then. I hadn't listened to in years.

The Pursuit of Happiness "I'm an Adult Now"

@ Nick, I guess you won't be 'amused' about these Aussie guys, but they crossed my mind when I listened to your The Adults track. Pnau have released an entire album a few years ago where they blend electronic music with African sounds. But since they are very well known and are doing clearly dance music - which hardly anyone here is interested in, i guess - I will share one of their songs but out of competition. But hey, it can't hurt to hear for once what's going on out there, outside the PA bubble. :P

Pnau: Go Bang (Album: Changa, 2017)

> out of competition.

@ George, thank you for the playlist!

I've been busy and haven't had much time to listen, but did put together a playlist of what has been posted so far. It's here and also been added to the first post.

Wow, there's a lot going on here, a very interesting project! It is inspiring in many ways. I don't know yet which direction I shall take, Oceania, Africa? Let me see.
